PARAMUS — A Haledon man with a lengthy arrest record has been charged with committing a rash of burglaries in Paramus, according to borough police.

Ahmet Islami, 21, is facing two counts of burglary and theft in connection with a spree of burglaries during the winter, according to Paramus Police Chief Kenneth Ehrenberg.

Detectives noticed the home burglaries fit a similar pattern. So when Hawthorne police arrested Islami for allegedly committing a home burglary while a woman was home, the pieces seemed to fit, Ehrenberg said.

Police linked Islami to two burglaries that occurred in December and arrested him at his parents' Haledon home, the chief said.
